55% of Belgians buy mineral water and never drink tap water, a European habit that leads to many wasted resources. Not to mention thirsty and puzzled foreigners and expats. I really don't understand how this preference for mineral water arose. I dislike the taste myself.
Then again, in America we buy tons of bottled water (although water is free and falls from the sky -- even better than growing on trees) and then complain about the price of gas, which per gallon is cheaper than the price of bottled water.

I think Doc's Mr. Fusion from Back To The Future was starting to get there. Well, now I've read that Belgium has a new initiative to convert more household vegetable oil into biodiesel. That's pretty cool.
